@Andrew Garcia, I would take a look at rents for a similar size (square feet and bedrooms) property so I’d have an idea of what the income might be.  

I then look at area vacancies, economic conditions, employment opportunities, area demographics and verify that the property has not been red tagged or have any other underlying problems that might make it difficult to resell or rent.When I have my financial information then I can consider debt service and costs related to equity partners in the overall income produced.

However, a town of that size is very similar to the areas that we have funded a lot of rehab and DSCR deals.What are some of the things that you like about what you're seeing in the Winchester market for a BRRRR?

However, all the sold comps are crossed out after following a three-tiered system to determine the ARV:T1: Stay within one-miles radius, sold for fewer than six-months.T2: Size of the properties are within 200 sqft., must share certain attributes (bedrooms, bathroom, etc.).T3: Compare property typeIn "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J Scott, it mentioned about adjusting the value of the comps to ensures that they resemble the subject property as closely as possible.

If you invest into an area that has strong growth and good employment numbers it can overcome many other Cons.  

The areas you are looking in are a step below the most expensive so I have no doubt they are higher, but you are also looking at a small sample size when you only look at homes available for sale now.

Think of it as a piggy bank: you put money in all the time, but the piggy itself also grows in size over time.

Bryan I would say PLANNING IN ADVANCE is key.Lot's of investors like GA as it's own of the best investment warm belt states in the country.You need to determine if you are going residential or commercial for the replacement property and what deal size.

Check if the voucher is for the size of unit you have. 4.

If your student loans are only 3-5% interest, that's pretty good so I think it's okay to pay those off over time.It sounds like you're making good income with your current employer and there is room to grow, so I'd plan to stay with that job until you can pay your high interest loans off and save enough for a down payment for your first property.
